SPICY DRUNKEN SHRIMP
This is a warm peel-and-eat shrimp recipe that I tried to duplicate from a little bar-and-grill in Deland, Florida. The shrimp are boiled in a spicy beer and thyme broth and served hot in a beer mug. Serve with dipping sauces of lemon-butter and hot sauce. I dip first in lemon-butter and then hot sauce, but you will find what works best for you! You will need plenty of paper towels!

DRUNKEN SHAMELESS SPICY SHRIMP (DINOSAUR BBQ)
John Stage almost always leaves something out in the recipes he publishes so they are just a little off. In this case, I think he just wrote "creole seasoning" when in fact, this stuff tastes most authentic with a spice they sell around here in the restaurant and in stores called "Cajun Foreplay." Use it generously. Either way these are delicious, especially served with Dinosaur BBQ Cocktail Sauce (recipe # 295318). Not for wimps!

Steps:
- Combine sherry, 2 ts cornstarch and 1/2 ts sugar in a medium bowl; stir in shrimp until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile combine soy sauce, water, vinegar and remaining cornstarch and sugar; set aside.
- Heat oil in wok over high heat; add green onions, ginger and garlic and stir fry for 30 seconds.
- Add shrimp and stir fry for 3 minutes or until pink.
- Pour in soy sauce mixture; cook and stir until sauce thickens.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of shrimp: Medium or large shrimp are ideal for this recipe, as they will hold up well to the cooking process. Avoid using small shrimp, as they can easily overcook and become tough.
- Clean the shrimp properly: Make sure to remove the heads, shells, and tails from the shrimp before cooking. You can also devein the shrimp if desired, though this is not necessary.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs helps to infuse them with flavor. You can marinate the shrimp for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the shrimp and prevent them from overcooking.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: Make sure to cook the shrimp in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding can cause the shrimp to steam rather than fry, resulting in a soggy texture.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: Drunken shrimp is best served immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and juicy. You can garnish the shrimp with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
Conclusion:
Drunken shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of tangy, savory, and boozy flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dish, give drunken shrimp a try. You won't be disappointed!
